Finding Details

Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Grant: Head Start/Early Head Start CFDA Number: 93.600 Grant Number: 04CH011659/21/22 Criteria: The grant awards associated with Head Start program require the quarterly SF-425 reports to be filed with 90 days after year end. Condition: For awards with budget periods ending in 2022, the financial reporting forms SF-425s were later than prescribed due dates. Questioned costs: None Context: The annual SF-425 Federal Financial Reports were not filed by the stated due date. Effect: Lack of compliance with grant requirements could result in a reduction in grant funding. Cause: The absence of meeting the applicable reporting requirements is largely due to key employee turnover with the financial positions. Auditor’s Recommendations: We recommend that the Center monitors its contract reporting timeline and due date. The production and submission of reports should follow the timeline specified on the grants. Grantee Comment: Refer to Corrective Action Plan
